Science
Life Cycles, Forces & Changing Materials
Plant/animal life cycles, basic forces and reversible/irreversible changes.
Explain processes using scientific vocabulary and simple evidence from tests.
Life cycles
Flowering plant stages; insect/amphibian examples as studied.
Forces
Pushes, pulls, friction, gravity – effects on movement.
Changes
Melting/freezing reversible; burning often irreversible.
Is melting chocolate reversible?
Yes – it can solidify again on cooling.
Practice
1. Name a force that slows a sliding book.
2. Give an irreversible change.
